Sloth and irresponsibility are rewarded while hard work is penalized and then when those of us who have busted our ass want to keep more of what we have earned we are called greedy. Meanwhile Nyquilia and Tylenolia with their 15 kids say someone needs to take responsibility when there is a glitch in the Food Stamp program. WTF is wrong with this picture?
Yannow how I became a SRF? I busted my ass and this was AFTER I became a cripple. I didn’t want anyone to say that the only reason I had a job was because of Diversity (All Hail Diversity!). I outworked my peers and they knew it. For a few years I worked two full time jobs. I was a systems programmer but I saw some opportunities and wrote classes that I taught and I delivered more teach days than many full time instructors. I traveled all over the country teaching while still maintaining all of the operating systems I was responsible for. Fortunately, I worked for a manager who realized what I did and compensated me accordingly. I also received many awards during that period. I saved and invested and didn’t live beyond my means but I did live very well as I still do. But liberals call me greedy because I want to keep more of the money I earned and don’t want to have to support sloth and irresponsibility.

And now their getting it good and hard.
Not only are they bending us over, they’re using a sandpaper condom.
And if you work for the government, you get paid by your own tax money.
Hey, that means if we all worked for the government we’d all be payin’ our own salaries. What a can’t miss proposition.
Oh, wait, what was that about laws of energy conservation and perpetual motion? TANSTAAFL, but the morons will never get it. Of course, I ain’t referrin’ to you, Formerlib.
And those same government employees are indoctrinating your children with Progressive bullshit for 7 hours, 5 days a week, every 180 day school year until taking on undischargeable student loan debt for a useless degree.
Not all of us teachers are into that progressive BS. One of my coworkers (7th grade math) was being hard on some of the “honor students” (yes your honor…no your honor) in her class. When they asked her: “Don’t you like us?”, she said no told some of the kids they were “screwed up” because how can some one afford to buy $120 “Jordan’s, but not have a pencil for class.
You wrote that, and *teach*?
Fuck me running…
Been reading a lot of stories about people who have been successful in life. None of them being defined as successful because of wealth. All are people who are successful because against all odds never gave up and never considered themselves a victim. Phenomenal people who left the world giving much more than taking.
Think of how many people because of left ideology and government welfare will never be the next success story. The truly sad thing in our society now these so called victims are being held up as idles and heroes.
jps, you are correct – most of them are idle – refusing to work in exchange for handouts. Idol might work here, too!!!

I’ve been a member of Denny’s site for many years. One of the reasons is because it’s a site where I can find logic being discussed amongst its members. Second, I’ve always looked at Denny as a role model. These liberals who randomly troll through the site and are ignorant of his background (and his achievements) make fools of themselves. Who do they look up to? Jane Fonda? George Clooney? No, not me. Kids these days should have a poster of Denny on their walls. Instead of pissing and moaning, he commits and accomplishes–which is more than I can say for most people on this planet.
One day in the future, Barack Obama has a heart-attack and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him.
“I don’t know what to do here,” says the devil. “You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. I’ve got a couple of folks here who weren’t quite as bad as you. I’ll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I’ll even let YOU decide who leaves.”
Obama thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the door to the first room.
In it was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. Ted kept diving in, and surfacing, empty handed. Over, and over, and over he dived in and surfaced with nothing. Such was his fate in hell.
“No,” Obama said. “I don’t think so. I’m not a good swimmer, and I don’t think I could do that all day long.”
The devil led him to the door of the next room. In it was Al Gore with a sledge-hammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.
“No, this is no good; I’ve got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day,” commented Obama.
The devil opened a third door. Through it, Obama saw Bill Clinton, lying on the bed, his arms tied over his head, and his legs restrained in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best. Obama looked at this in shocked disbelief, and finally said, “Yeah man, I can handle this.”
The devil smiled and said………..
“OK, Monica, you’re free to go
